Your method looks good, but as Art mentioned in an older thread, the MQ-1 keypad with half of the circuit board was mounted into the original left gauntlets. So the left part (with the circuit and the other electronic components) goes behind the helmet's rear keyhole while the other half (with the connectors) goes under the calculator's keypad. It is the first time when I see the MQ-1 calculator in pieces and all the parts in one place. Thanks for posting detailed images of the found parts!

On the right side there are two nobs or dials that look kind of pill shape. Here’s my best take on those parts and here’s what I used.
Some years back I had laser eye surgery and they gave me these eye drops. Well I found them in the junk drawer and thought they looked very close. I’m in no way claiming my eye drop containers are correct, just that they look cool and come close to the shape and size.

Thanks for checking out the pics, take care peoples. starting back on the Gauntlets again

PP2 Gauntlets are done after many hours of sanding painting and waiting then sanding a painting again, a bit daunting but fun seeing it come together at the same time. Along the way I made my fair share of mistakes and had setbacks, all good. The goal was to build the most accurate PP2 gauntlets “I” could produce, hope everyone enjoys the pics. Wooo Hooo Check these off my to do list.

I understand that my aluminum interior is not correct, but the foam padding looked a bit weak and I thought I could get a little creative here and still not upset anyone. For the interior, I started by creating thin cardboard templates. On one of my many hunts through the hardware store aisles, I found these aluminum sheets with holes and I thought I could shape and use the aluminum sheets as a backing then add thin foam and cover them with gray or black leather. That was the plan but the aluminum by itself turned out the look better so I just added the aluminum tape trim. The interior is attached with Velcro, It fits good and covers all the voids well leaving plenty of space for the electronics.

Once you grind down the mini light you can superglue the white half to the gauntlet then i added two small screws to hold the red battery pack half the rest of the gauntlet. the batteries can be changed if needed by removing the screws.
